Strengths

- “Pupils receive great care, support and understanding here.”
- “This is because all staff know pupils, families and carers exceptionally well.”
To improve
- “However, this is not the case in all subject areas.”
- “In some parts of the curriculum, the school has not defined the precise knowledge, skills and vocabulary they want pupils to know.”
- “This means that pupils are not building their knowledge over time in a clear logical way.”
